Interesting read; it just omits the underdogs of the pollinator world. Research on #flypollination still lags far behind studies on #bees, and the true impact of flies on agricultural systems goes unrecognised; this is where we’re helping out. Have no fear, #hoverflies are here!

Hello, we are THE HOVERFLIES, & we mean you no harm.
Some call us "sweat bees," implying that we can sting. But it's all a ruse. We're flies! Really. No stingers here, promise!
We are pollinators, crop-pest predators, & cuties to bootsies. Please, no squish.

Listening to @BBCGQT and they talk about making gardens good for bees and butterflies.
Does no one want to admit that FLIES ARE MASSIVELY IMPORTANT POLLINATORS.

This is not a wasp! Amazing mimicry from a harmless fly.

#Pollination economic values:
"there is a marked lack of data on regionally important commercial crops that are essential for the food security of many millions of people, particularly in developing countries"

Flies are beginning to get the positive attention they deserve - soldier flies are some of the more attractive ones and a joy to observe @SoldierfliesRS @DipteristsForum
12 Jul 2020
I didn't even know these were a thing and now they might be one of my favourite things
That's what I love about nature, ALWAYS something new 🤩
Soldier fly, possibly the Banded General (badass) Stratiomys potamida? @flygirlNHM @Buzz_dont_tweet @StevenFalk1
